Mad Murtha Undermines Far Left War Stance
*************************EXCERPT*************************
Update - IBD Notices Murtha’s Duplicitous Madness
Mad Jack Murtha - who once said we could monitor al-Qaeda’s activities in Iraq by stationing our forces in Okinawa, Japan (talk about someone who served in the military and learned absolutely nothing about how to manage a war effort) - has done the unthinkable in far left circles. He has admitted that The Surge is working (which everyone now knows) and the Iraqis must take on more of their security (which they are doing):
“I think the ’surge’ is working,” Mr. Murtha, a Democrat, said in a video conference from his Johnstown office, describing the president’s decision to commit nearly 30,000 additional troops at the beginning of the year. “But the thing that has to happen is the Iraqis have to do this themselves. We can’t win it for them.”
Talk about your “Duh!” moments! Want to see the Iraqis stepping up to the plate? Just review some of my posts from the last few months on news stories which show just that. For a sample go here, here, here, here and here. The truth is the far left is either in deep denial or so blinded by their inferiority complex with Bush they are grasping the reality of Iraq months after the situation has changed. This is creating a correct and disturbing picture of the Dems as totally incapable of dealing with foreign policy issues, the same issues they supported as members of Congress in authorizing the war in Iraq.
